Res orb has no bearing anymore, all it does is lower the required number needed on the RP/EL roll.

When the unit is destroyed and the EL non IC character makes its EL/RP role, it should be placed with in 3" of the EL counter. As for unit coherency, it should always be in unit coherency for a unit of one. This is my reading of it which makes logical since to me.

Along this same line of thought, Since it is technically the same character assigned to the same unit, and pending its a unit of warriors, should you be able to resupply that lone EL non-IC character with warrior models. Pending there is a ghost ark nearby? Not to get off topic.

You're not off-topic at all, that is quite the topic of discussion currently and that is the way this "should" be played. I feel that TheGreatAvatar should be saddled with the burden of proof of resolution to the broken situations his interpretation would cause.

While the physical model is removed, the tokens still represent the potential over-all size of the unit. Now while the non-character models would lose their RP rolls when everyone in the unit is downed, the EL unit would still have a marker on the board and it would still be part of that unit it was initially part of.

Actually, the model IS removed; it is NOT replaced with a token. Reread the RP rule. When the model is remove a counter/marker is placed next to the unit to keep track of the number of models removed in the phase. That's it. There is no relationship to a model and a counter/marker. I can use a die to keep track of the number of models lost in the phase, for instance. The counters have no bearing on normal game play (unit size for example) and represent nothing more than just the number of RP rolls to be made as the end of the phase. If all the RP models are removed then, per the RP rule, there is no need to for RP rolls since none of the self-repaired models can be placed in coherency of its unit, thus the unit no longer exists. If an EL counter is with the (no longer existing) unit and passes its RP roll, the EL model must be place in coherency with THAT unit it previously joined. THAT unit is previously joined no longer exists.

And again, your interpretation of the rule would never work for the royal court members in any form and makes it completely meaningless for them to have EL. So, why would they have it at all if your method is how it's supposed to be played?

Show me where in the rules there is a direct relation between the RP counter/marker and the model. My post above is not an interpretation, it's directly pulled from the RP rule.
